Our project aims to lift children out of poverty by targeting those most in need and as early as possible to give them the best chance in life.

This is aligned with Welsh Government Child Poverty Strategy which aims to:

  • create pathways out of poverty so that young people and families realise their full potential
  • support child and family wellbeing
  • help families to maxmise income and identify ways that families can save money
  • challenge the stigma of poverty and ensure children, young people and their families are treated with dignity and respect
